So the kick he slotted for a goal is the kick they have worked the most improved into . Manages to time it of the boot better.

 

[gillon]

Why even bother playing him if he’s going to be benched for half the game?

Been personally responsible for 50% of our goals tonight.

 

[FlyingV]

Had a really solid first half. Not a game that suits his strengths so far with the ball pinging around like this… not that it matters from the bench

Given the fact there has been 1 goal scored since 1/4 time it is a bit hard to get the rotations going.

Would be a valid reason if it didn’t happen every time he played.

I’m not a believer in him at all, but if you’re going to play him give him a fair crack

Brad trying to tank so we get a better pick, can't let the guy whose had a hand in half our goals accidently win the game for us.

'had a hand in half our goals'? good way to set the bar as low possible.

 

[Westlo]

Brad bench him now!

He did!

Well he started on the bench and how long did it take for a goal ?
It is 100% valid. Runner can not get on the ground.

[FlyingV]

I’m biased, but I’m actually pretty happy with his game. Was sharp by hand, kicked a goal, and showed some dash at times. The game time is a puzzle to me. Must be his GPS numbers/ run falls off

Really disappointed they took him off middle of last term, after he got that breakaway clearance and another inside 50…. Made no sense

Grasping at straws..


Dosent have to be a goal for a rotation, any stoppage on the bench side is enough, plenty of those

I WAS in the same boat as you but honestly did you see how gassed he was in the last quarter (after 63% TOG?) One contest he couldn’t even man the mark due to being doubled over with hands on his knees.

Kid has zero tank, add that to his kicking & confidence issues and he’s barely worth persevering with.

Forster- Knight needs to be gone for this selection alone

You didn't sit on the fence watching the bench Howie so you didn't see it.

 

[bennyg12]

****** piss off

 

[Howard Moon]

The key to him is to leave him getting 40s in the VFL so he's not exposed enough in the AFL to cheapen his trade value.

Too many of those AFL games and the bubble bursts and everyone sees him for what he is not what he could be

 

[King Patty]

His game was ok.

i was expecting a little more
from Durham too.

Tstatas need another chance next week.

Not really . Have you noticed most rotations take place when a goal is kicked ? Otherwise the play has to be close to the bench. It 100% happens in low scoring games. The runner is not allowed on whenever he wants. It is up to the players and when the game is in consistent play blokes end up stuck on the bench. There was one stage wheee Tsatas was standing there for 6 or so minutes waiting to get on. There where no stoppages on that wing in that time.

 

[Megabattimus]

Simply must play the rest of this godforsaken season. Especially with Setterfield and Martin going down.

 

[Foxx]

Looked better.

 

[ant555]

Played okay. Did a few good things. Was not super in other areas but it was a pass.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Few howler kicks, and definitely needs to work on his fitness. But loved the goal he kicked and had some nice moments at stoppages.
